I wonder if we should "fix" nonconforming mail in passthrough mode,
i. e. insert the header and the empty line at the first non-header line;
and consider the first all-whitespace/control to be the "empty"
line. Might be that this is just another try to subvert filters. What
does Outlook do with such lines (' ' rather than '\b')?
